    Post S20 or note 10

    Note 10 is bigger than S20, most noticeable in width. I have a note 10 and was comparing to S20 in CPW. S20 is much easier to hold on to. Button placement, for me, is more preferable on the S20. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

    It got resolved after an update last year while the S10 was still on Android 9. Now after the update to Android 10 this issue has come back.

    Thread Notifications when connected to bluetooth speaker

    Previously on Android 9 when connected to bluetooth, in the car or bluetooth speakers, whenever a notification comes arrives it would come through both my phone and the device connected. Ever since the Android 10 update the notifications don't come from the phone speaker anymore. It only comes...

    On the left is S10e, on right is S10. Both updated to the latest Android 10 with January security patch. The contacts picture on my S10e is HD and when swipe down the picture expands yo half the screen. Problem is on the S10 it doesn't and also that little round picture is very blurry. I've...

    Very annoying that, but not the end of the world. I had to edit some my contacts by reversing the first & last names

    Post S10 G9730 TGY (hong kong variant)

    I did have the European S10 which does have those settings but I had to return it to Samsung. In the future I may get another S10 but I would prefer the Snapdragon version. All my contacts are sorted last name first which is the way I prefer.

    Post S10 G9730 TGY (hong kong variant)

    Can you guys who have the Hong Kong version of the S10 confirm whether there is settings in the contacts app to sort by last name & display by last name. I'm asking because my daughter's S9 is a Hong Kong version and it doesn't have these settings

    Post Galaxy S10 & 2019 Peugeot 3008 Android Auto crash after a minute working

    Same issue with my Land Rover Discovery Sport. Definitely some sort of incompatibility issue but is it problem with S10 or Land Rover? I'll never know because the phone has been returned for refund. Just want to say however that the S10 connected fine with my wife's Mini Countryman and my...

    Post Returning my S10

    As I explained I don't think it was faulty as it connected fine to a couple of different vehicles as well as all my home bluetooth electronics.

    Post Returning my S10

    The S10 pairs and works faultlessly with my wife's 2014 Mini Countryman and also my daughter's VW Polo. Also I had it paired and working fine with all our Bluetooth speakers, laptops, etc so I don't think the phone is faulty. As an aside I tried my daughter's S9 that was updated to Android Pie...

    Thread Returning my S10

    As the title says, I have sent back my S10 for refund. When I pre ordered I was genuinely looking forward to the phone. My previous phone was a LG G7 which is low key a great device.

    Post Does your s10/s10+ Fingerprint Scanner Suck!??

    Yes its crappy at the moment. I'm getting roughly 7 in 10 success rate & have to consciously make sure I press the right area. My Oneplus 6T works nearly everytime. Hopefully updates will make it better.

    It's a super thin semi rigid translucent tpu type material, if you're familiar with the Peel cases made for iPhones then it's basically the same type of material.

I sold because of this restriction as I was continually running out of space & had to manipulate what I apps I could...
